Thank you for your interest in volunteering for the Santa Cruz Public Libraries! We appreciate our community's support.

The library is now recruiting new volunteers! Please submit an  application and we will respond shortly. 

Since volunteer opportunities are often dependent upon library needs and timing of special events, recruitment and assignment of volunteers is constantly changing. The more you tell us about your availability and general interests, the better chance we'll have in finding the best fit.
